Hi - I see you've found ID Riders.com/proflex already - have you asked them yet if anybody's got anything spare? I saw your thread around the broken swingarm... there is a thread around there I recall recently telling you how to get it welded - though I suppose that might cost more than a replacement frame. I'll see if I can dig out the thread.

I think I want to keep hold of all of mine for the time being - sorry... but they do come up on Ebay quite often. Frames usually Â£50-80 for the 855/856/857), depending on condition etc.

I'm in the process of re-doing my 855. During this process I noticed that I had a crack in the pivot point clamp on the alu swing arm. I have got as far as a 2007 LX group set, girvin expert forks, spin tri-spoke wheels and am looking at a risse rear shock upgrade. However this crack has brought a halt to the whole thing.

If anyone has a swing arm that will fit an 855 or a complete frame set if you don't want to seperate I would love to hear as I don't want to give up on this bike!

Here's hoping, thanks.

Ask around for a competant welder. He (or she) can groove, cold weld with 5356 filler and let sit for a week.

You could have a sleeve mandrel turned to fit inside the hole as a backing, then the welder can weld against it. Drive it out and presto, let it sit for a week.
